MASK OR MASQUERADE?
A mask
conceals your face. It also conceals
your identity. A masquerade is something
you put on such as a mask to conceal or deceive someone else. Why are we wearing masks? They say to protect us from the virus. I cannot argue if that is correct or not
because there are some people who have disagreed with these claims. Nevertheless, people are wearing masks when
they go out including myself but let’s look at this more closely.
Our face is
a significant part of our identity. We
are uniquely created by God and no two people are alike or will ever be
alike. Wearing a mask strips us of an
important part of our identity including facial features and expressions. If you walk down the aisle of a grocery store
you may be use to looking at people and smiling. You really can’t tell if someone is smiling
unless you can guess from their words like a kind, “Hello.”
What does
the world want to strip us of? You
guessed it, our identity. The virus,
although very real, is just an excuse or conceivably a plan to start to
condition us to a more cynical and evil agenda to just go along with “big
brother.” We are like cattle that are
being conditioned to just do what our government tells us because we could all
die!! Remember, evil disguises itself,
or masquerades as an “angel of light.”
Jesus is
coming soon and the New World Over will be in place when the anti-christ shows
up on the scene. Hopefully, we as
believers, will be caught up (Raptured) to be with Jesus before the wrath of
God. We need to be aware of the “signs
of the times.” Matthew 24 talks about
this when the Apostles asked Jesus what would be the signs before His
coming. Jesus said three times that
deception would be one of the great signs.
Do we have to look very far to not see it in our midst?
So what does
this all mean? We need to watch and
pray. We need to bring others into the
Kingdom of God. Time is growing short so
let’s use this time to be an example to the world of Who Christ is living in us
and allowing and seeking God to use us to manifest His glory through signs and
wonders!!
Let’s not
just be hearers of the Word but doers!!
The enemy (devil) lurks at every corner.
Let’s unmask evil by being a bright light in the darkness!!
Amen.
